I’m actually serious, which button is the right one? Why are there two?
Also should a Pic of a toilet be considered NSFW?
One is forward/play, the other is rewind. DON’T push rewind.
So pressing both of them at same time takes a screenshot?
Yeah but if the toilet has WiFi it automatically shares a pic with anyone in the house so gotta switch that off.
ITT: A lot of Lemmy users showing their true colors. Someone asks for help, for information, and y’all decide to mock.
OP: one button does a full flush, the other does a half flush. In your picture, the button on the right, does the half flush. Button on the left, does the full flush. Full flush is usually just x2, though I don’t think that’s a hard rule.
Looks like this one breaks the rules. Only the big button works.
Actually the little button sends an SOS to local authorities, so chances are the little button works fine and you have an incoming SWAT raid with paramedics and police surrounding the building.
These swat raids are getting out of hand!
I explained it to my kids like this:
1 button for #1.
2 buttons for #2.ITC: username checking out. It was a really dumb question
A question is a question… Just answer the damn question without judging it.
Better let someone know what the thing does instead of forcing them to experiment with it and (possibly) break it.
It was a very low stakes experiment. I wasn’t going to say anything until the high and mighty came to shame those razzing them about it
Ultimately I think my question, being smart or dumb is irrelevant, it brought activity to the community and that’s a great thing I think. The bad thing was the memes. The ‘how do I flush this’ posts kinda got wild.
This is your standard dual flush. One is flush, the other is eject. Which is which depends on the manufacturer. Just be careful, the eject can be quite forceful.
As for which button is the right one, it’s definitely the one on the right. The other is the left button.
Big button = big flush
Little button = little flush
This is so wholesome, never be concerned about asking questions like this. Most folks are lurkers, I’m sure your question educated more folks than you realize. Be well out there.
Bigger button is for solid waste, smaller button uses less water for liquid waste.
Is that common?
Nowadays I just don’t know anynore. I find toilets where it’s swapped.
I also want to say that I grew up with toilets where the bigger button is the one for your more common usecase - liquid waste. Oftern the smaller button is set up to push the bigger button as well - to clean solid waste.
If using a new toilet, I always try out the bigger button first, since it’s easier to press and typically uses less water.
The design couldn’t possibly be more intuitive without a turd icon.
I find the buttons with a small and a large droplet on them a little more clear, though from experience i know the small button is usually peepee mode
Lol 💩
With your finger you fuckin weirdo.
OP: “How do I push a button?”
People are joking about this but I have a toilet where the large button is for a half flush. Pressing the small button depresses both buttons performing a regular flush. I have never found another toilet like this, thank the stars!
I am also in the large button, small flush gang. I assume it’s that way so the flush you use most frequently is bigger, but it does seem counterintuitive.
This is insanity.
Pure anarchy.
From my experience, the large button does the flush, but the size of the flush depends on how far you push it down. The small one simply pulls the large flush button down with it, but stops it from going more than half-way, resulting in a smaller flush.
So the smaller seashell shape makes a small flush. The larger seashell shape makes a bigger flush, and the combined seashell shape (both buttons) makes a huge flush.
I’ve had 3 of these toilets for the last 4 years and I never knew you could COMBINE flush?!
It’s only two flush sizes. Pressing both doesn’t do anything more.
The secret of the 3 shells finally revealed!
Allow me to introduce you to the scientific method.
Observation: The buttons are different sizes. Hypothesis: The size of the buttons could indicate the amount of flushing that occurs when the buttons are pushed. Experiment: video record the amount of flow resulting from the pushing of the one of the buttons. Wait 60 seconds. Record the amount to flow resulting from the pushing of the other button. Wait 60 seconds. Record the amount of flow resulting from the pushing of both buttons simultaneously. Then compare videos. Conclusion: __________________
This made me realise that this kind of flush must not be the defacto standard in some parts of the world
It is the defecal standard though.
Are you american or what?
Yeehaw, I sure am.
Welllllllll howdy!
